Business Reopening Planning Check List
Planning your reopening tactics
When reopening your store, office space, or organization there are many essential preparation items to consider for the safety and well-being of your employees and visitors and/or customers. We all need to be mindful of local, state and federal safety standards, such as:
- Minimizing the number of visitors inside your location based on your square footage.
- Abide by social distancing protocols.
- Sanitize frequently used items, such as door handles, work areas, and kiosk stations.
- Install protective shields where there are close interactions.
These safety recommendations are designed by government regulations and we hope this checklist guide will help with the opening of American jobs and organizations. Our goal is to help guide you through all the ways you can meet required guidelines and provide peace-of-mind as you resume business operations and also providing you with those resources in one place.
